Frequently Asked Questions
Account & apps
Do I need an account?
You can browse cards and sets without one. An account is what stores your collection, decks, games and playgroups, and keeps them in sync between the web app and the iOS and Android apps.
Is Mythic Tools free?
Yes, and every account gets one Smart Deck for free. Creating an account, tracking your collection, building decks and recording games always cost nothing. Mythic+ is the paid subscription: it lifts the one-Smart-Deck limit and unlocks Card Recommendations, Decklist Evaluation and Card Evaluation.
Where can I use it?
On the web, on iOS and on Android. It is the same account everywhere, so anything you add on your phone shows up on the site, and the other way around.
Can I use Mythic Tools in French?
Yes. Pick your preferred language in Settings. The interface is available in English and French, and card names and rules text are shown in French wherever a French printing exists.
Your collection
What is the difference between a box and a binder?
Nothing technical. They are two kinds of container, so you can mirror how your cards are actually stored at home. Both count towards your collection's card count and value.
Can I import my collection from another app?
Yes. Collection imports accept exports from Dragon Shield, Moxfield, ManaBox and Archidekt. A large import (1000+ cards) takes a while, so keep the tab open until it finishes.
What does it mean when a copy is assigned to a deck?
A physical copy in a box or binder can be linked to a deck, so you know that copy is already sleeved up somewhere. If you would rather only see the copies that are free to use, turn the option on in Settings. Your containers' card counts and values follow it. You can override it for any individual container.
Why can't I put a certain card in a box or binder?
Digital-only printings can never be kept in a box or binder, because no physical copy of them exists. They are skipped when you move cards or convert a list.
Decks
Can I import a decklist?
Yes. Paste an Archidekt, ManaBox or Moxfield URL, or import a .txt or .csv decklist into a deck you have already created. Automatic import only reaches decks that are public.
What are brackets?
Brackets 1 to 5 are the official Wizards power-level guidelines for Commander. Mythic Tools suggests a bracket from what your deck actually contains (Game Changers, fast mana, two-card combos, extra turns, mass land denial) and tells you which cards drove the result. Bracket 5 (cEDH) is always set by hand.
Why is my deck asking to be recalculated?
The bracket suggestion is stored rather than recomputed on every visit. When the deck changes, or when new combos or updated rules land, the suggestion is flagged as out of date and you get a button to recalculate it.
What is a proxy card?
A card you have flagged as a proxy rather than owning the real printing. You decide in Settings whether the market price of proxies counts towards your deck's total. That setting applies to your own decks only.
Games & playgroups
How do I record a game?
Create a playgroup, add the players, and log the game with the deck each of them played. The result syncs to every participant's profile, so nobody has to enter it twice.
Can I track a best-of-three?
Yes. A single match can hold several games, each with its own winner, life totals and result.
What do the stats show?
Your overall win rate, how you do going first versus second, and which decks and matchups keep giving you trouble, per deck and across your whole history.
